Next manager?

[Malandro]

I want Juan Carlos Osorio Arbeláez.

Loved the story about him living in England and learning about the game here.

Liked the football he had his team's playing.

I believe he's a free agent after leaving his post as the Mexico manager.

Like this one, totally left field, he would certainly handle the pressure after managing Mexico!

Yes, get him in!

It would beat the Juan Carlos we have now.

just think what a manager with a brain could do!

Iain Dowie has a masters in engineering.

i'd start by offering Wenger a 5/6 year deal and try and sell him the Villa project
total control, and the start of the Villa engine as it should have been

could always say no but it's worth sounding out first

Villa are the closest club in stature history and size to Arsenal he's available you can't lose anything by sounding him out
time to set the bar high

Can we please stop mentioning Brendan Bloody Rogers. As someone mentioned a while back, this was the man who got out thought by Tim Tactics Sherwood at Wembley.

According to my Kopite mate he can’t organise a defence for anything.

I was about to write exactly that - He made Tactics Tim look like Pep

Dean Smith - I recently spoke to a person within the ranks at Brentford and he loved Deano but clearly stated that it was an entire pyramid behind him that made the whole club successful. All the way from owner, CEO to scouting and physical training and not just about the Manager. I said that we would just take all of them

I am in the camp of offering a huge contract to the likes of Howe or Dyche. I would also take a punt on Benitez - I do not like him but he has a very proven history

Remember when we was linked with Klinsmann?  Maybe still a strong US connection with Edens?

Agreed.

Quique Flores. Got shat on at Watford, he loved managing in England and he knows how to dress himself.

Seconded.

Definitely not Henry either.  We've tried the fanboy approach and it doesn't work.

He was binned by the Arse for being outdated and now crap, ala Mourinho. We need new, modern progressive managers - F** me not Sunday pub league Rogers.

No the billionaires are sounding out from the Mendez stable. He'll dispense with Bruceball and instill a bit of common sense e.g players in proper positions and go all out guns blazing 1st half when teams come to VP. The noise, the attacking forward play will make opposition defenders back track quicker than a Bruce promise in September.

From last night's debacle all the fringe players didn't bother because they know no matter how they play he has his shit favourites. 

[maigrait]

Surely everyone was crapola last night due to the fact that nobody was in a position they knew/enjoyed. I mean what was he thinking? If he was making a point I'm not sure what it was...

Any Flores seems a decent shout for me. Anyone with a forward progressive thinking and tactics. From what I can tell we don't have any discernible  way of playing. Fulham, counter attack, Cardiff hoof ball, Wolves on the floor. Villa... erm... pure luck?

The season is heading into the same old same old... how can our hopes be dashed its only August!

[ChicagoLion]

Hire David Dein and let him find the next Wenger.

[adrenachrome]

None of my business I know, but why not David Warner ?

If your new owners are as rich and ambitious as they're supposed to be (Tony Xia?) he might be tempted by a shedload of cash and the medium term prospect of crossing swords with his old mate Klopp on a more equal basis than Huddersfield could ever dream of. It might also be a good time for him to bail out of Huddersfield before it inevitably goes tits up.


Personally I hope you get Brendan Rodgers, he's an even bigger Fkin egomaniacal wanker than Martin O'Neill and Tim Sherwood combined.

Isn't he currently banned for ball tampering?

This would be a pretty cool look for the touchline, Shirley?

[mr underhill]

a tad under dressed.
